The Golden State Warriors were encouraged by nearly every member of the media and fake trade outlet to move on from Moses Moody to land a different type of player. The Warriors held firm, and now they have a breakout starter on the wing to help them both now and later.
The sheer volume of fake trades involving Moses Moody was impressive. Including him in a deal for Paul George (dodged a bullet there) or Lauri Markkanen made sense. Bringing Kevin Durant back to The Bay? Some logic there. Trading for star players means giving up good young players; it's part of the process.
